It's been a while since I've been on this forum. Surprising how things have changed!
Last September we picked up our new 500 1.2 Lounge. On the drive home I noticed a kind of "shhhh" noise that lasted for a few seconds and reoccurred every few minutes. I hoped it would go away and over the Winter it did seem better.
However now the noise is back so I took it to the dealer last week. On a test drive I reproduced it and the mechanic said it was something to do with the aircon. He claimed some cars make this noise while others don't but it was nothing to worry about. They could replace the noisy part but it may be no better. I have tried switching the aircon off and the noise does go away. It is a noise that I can live with but I don't think it should be there.
Does anyone else's car make this noise? Should I get the dealer to replace the noisy part anyway?
